Congratulations to all the outstanding athletes who competed in this week’s North Down Athletics Competition. Out of the nine schools entered, our Year 8, 9 and 10 athletes won each of their year group competitions with the result that we won the overall competition.

The Academy’s netball ace, Nicole (Year 14), has just received news that the University of Ulster has offered her a place on the Sports Studies degree course as part of their Talented Athletes Programme.
